Description

Felin Fach is a building constructed from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with slate roofs. It has an L-plan layout, featuring a lofted main northern range that runs from west to east and a single-storey southwest wing. The main range includes a broad cambered-headed doorway at the west end, along with a large arched loft-light above it, both adorned with painted stone voussoirs. There are later doors and boarding present. The northern side of the building is built into a bank and features double doors leading to the first floor. At the eastern end, there is an iron waterwheel, approximately 3 meters in diameter, made by Eagle Foundry in Aberystwyth.

The southwest range has a western side that is mostly 20th century, with double doors extending out to align with the western gable of the main range, and a single door to the right, all supported by blockwork piers. The original rubble wall at the southern end has two windows beneath a single timber lintel, and there is a brick lean-to at the rear.

Felin Fach sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,290 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
